Great to meet you!

Hello and welcome. I am Damitra Smith, a licensed professional counselor of 18 years specializing in addiction, anxiety, and depression. Since graduating from Prairie View A&M University in 2008, I have made it my purpose to provide a compassionate and safe haven for anyone wanting to embark on a transformative journey toward healing, growth, and freedom from life’s challenges. By honoring your unique path, I can provide the guidance you need to overcome the obstacles holding you back.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in utilizing cutting-edge therapeutic approaches, including incorporating astrology, to support your healing journey. By blending evidence-based techniques with innovative and personalized methods, I help you tap into your inner wisdom, navigate life's challenges, and discover your true potential. My key area of focus is working with culturally diverse populations focusing on the Black/African American and Hispanic/Latino communities.

What you can expect from me

My primary goal is to create a supportive and empathetic environment where clients feel understood and empowered. I strive to tailor the outcomes of each session to the unique needs and goals of the individual, whether that involves developing coping strategies, gaining deeper insights into behavioral patterns, or working towards specific life changes. By employing a blend of therapeutic techniques, I aim to facilitate personal growth, enhance self-awareness, and foster resilience.
